Yemen’s Houthi rebels say an alleged U.S. airstrike that hit a prison holding African migrants killed at least 68 people. That’s according to the Houthis’ Civil Defense organization on Monday, which said 47 others were wounded. There was no immediate independent confirmation of the death toll and the U.S. military has not acknowledged conducting the strike in Yemen’s Saada governorate, a stronghold of the Houthis. Some 115 prisoners were held at the site. Graphic footage aired by the Houthis' al-Masirah satellite news channel showed what appeared to be dead bodies and others wounded there.
